Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin exchanged a glance. Since Old Granny Zhang didn't want to get involved, they naturally wouldn't either.
The third and fourth households, who had been waiting to see Granny Zhang and Wang Yongzhu in action, waited until dark. They saw Jinguan eating heartily, his face glowing with health. He neither cried nor shouted and obediently returned to the main house. Granny Zhang and Wang Yongzhu never showed up.
So they quietly retracted their necks, huddling in their own homes without a peep.
Finally, Wang Yongping couldn't bear it any longer. He asked Liu Xiaoqiao to steam a basket of cornbread and brought it to the main house in the dark.
Upon arriving at the main house, he found Wang Yongfu and Jindou eating hungrily, clearly starving.
When Wang Yongfu saw Wang Yongping carrying the basket of cornbread, his eyes showed emotion. He croaked, "Laosi!"
Wang Yongping handed the cornbread to Jindou and sat down. "Is this from Mother?"
